Contraception is a common problem faced by many couples who currently do not have family planning, and many women believe that frequent use of contraceptive pills can lead to infertility or gynecological diseases. Can taking contraceptive pills really cause infertility?
Taking contraceptive pills will not cause infertility, as oral contraceptives are a medication with a more balanced ratio of estrogen and progesterone, and will not affect the body's ovarian function. Even if the menstrual cycle is infrequent or irregular during oral contraceptives, it usually has no effect on pregnancy itself. Pregnancy requires normal ovarian function, normal egg production, normal fallopian tube transport, and a normal endometrial environment to enable the embryo to grow, develop, and grow within the uterus. Oral contraceptives usually inhibit ovulation or alter the internal environment of the uterus to achieve contraceptive effects. These effects are temporary and can be restored after discontinuation, so taking contraceptive pills will not cause infertility.
In addition, many women are concerned that contraceptive pills contain hormones, which can lead to uterine fibroids, and even diseases such as uterine cancer and ovarian cancer. In fact, this is a wrong viewpoint. Taking contraceptive pills does not cause damage to the endometrium and can protect the uterine mucosa to a certain extent, as oral contraceptives can cause regular shedding of the uterine mucosa, reduce endometrial hyperplasia, give the ovaries enough rest time, and to some extent reduce the occurrence of ovarian cancer.
It should be noted that the contraceptive pills mentioned here do not include emergency contraceptive pills. Long term use of emergency contraceptive pills may lead to menstrual disorders and other symptoms. Although birth control pills are a relatively safe and effective contraceptive measure, they also have undeniable side effects. Therefore, female friends should pay attention to avoiding long-term use of contraceptive pills.
